Synthetic System Benchmarks
We are going to start with synthetic system application benchmarks on this page. Gaming performance will be shown later on. Note that the graphs are arranged from fastest to slowest and contain all the CPUs on each graph for a large comparison. The Ryzen 9 7900X is highlighted in orange.
PCMark 10
Standard PCMark Benchmark
In PCMark 10 the Ryzen 9 7900X is at the top of the charts, it beats every CPU on this graph, including the Intel Core i9 12900K and Ryzen 9 5950X. It’s 15% better than the last generation AMD Ryzen 9 5900X which it is replacing. Compared to the Intel Core i9-12900K the 7900X is 4% faster.
PCMark Application Benchmark
In this graph, we are looking at PCMark 10’s Applications Benchmark. This test is very specific, it tests the performance of Microsoft Office, using Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and even Edge. We are using Microsoft Office 2021 for these tests. The new Ryzen 9 7900X is once again at the top of the charts, beating every CPU here in office performance. Compared to the previous generation 5900X the new 7900X is 22% faster, which is a nice uplift. Compared to the Intel Core i9-12900K the new 7900X is 9% faster.
Geekbench 5
In Geekbench 5 Multi-Core benchmark the new Ryzen 9 7900X is again faster than every CPU, including the higher core count Ryzen 9 5950X. The Ryzen 9 7900X is a whopping 55% faster than its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 5900X, showing a big improvement. It’s also faster than the Intel Core i9-12900K by 4%. Alder CPUs have been competitive here, but the new 7900X beats them all.
When it comes to Single-Core performance, the Ryzen 9 7900X is again at the top of the charts with the best performance. It’s 30% faster than the Ryzen 9 5900X in single-core performance. Compared to the Core i9-12900K it is 12% faster.
